T'nuva Head: Student Boycott Unfair

Chief Executive Officer Arik Shor of the T'nuva agricultural cooperative said, Monday, that the boycott by the national student union of T'nuva dairy products because of rising prices was an unfair protest, saying he felt a roulette wheel was spun and T'nuva's name came up.

Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, Shor said, "We're very attentive to the protest and were among the first to lower our prices in a unilateral way." He added, "We are trying to solve the problem and we have absorbed the message. But you can't place all the burden on T'nuva."
